                               RESOLUTION


 
    Calling on the President to condemn the anti-Israel sentiments 
expressed by the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on October 26, 
                                 2005.

Whereas, on October 26, 2005, the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said 
        that Israel must be ``wiped off the map'' and that ``[a]nybody who 
        recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nations' fury'';
Whereas the Department of State has designated Iran as a state sponsor of 
        terrorism that has repeatedly provided support for acts of international 
        terror;
Whereas the Government of Iran sponsors terrorist organizations such as 
        Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, and PFLP-
        GC by providing funding, training, weapons, and safe haven to such 
        organizations; and
Whereas the outrageous statements of Mr. Ahmadinejad are not in accord with the 
        expressions of the Palestinian leadership in the peace process: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) thoroughly repudiates the anti-Israel sentiments 
        expressed by the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on 
        October 26, 2005; and
            (2) calls on the President, on behalf of the United States, 
        to thoroughly repudiate, in the strongest terms possible, the 
        statement by Mr. Ahmadinejad.
